Superstars V8: Next Challenge: Review

Just a couple of weeks ago on Stopgame pages.RU appeared a review of a simple racing arcade by the modern standards of the unknown in the wide circles of the Italian championship, in which exclusively cars with a V-shaped eight participate. Even “remember” write my hand does not rise from me-the article was the other day. Superstars V8 Racing reached our country with a serious delay. And while in the bowels “New disk” it was translated into a native language, the developers stuck a new series. Actors are all the same, only the season is already fresh – 2010. It is just beginning, and we can already try it. The original had certain problems with the graphic component (the clumsy sky “reduced” the game), and with motivation. And what was prepared for us here, did they really work on the mistakes?

The first thing you notice even before the races was processed by the SuperStars V8 License system. In the last part, it made sense in it with Gulkin’s nose. Her player passed or not – no difference. The tests in general for admission to the championship do not affect the championship at all. And in the nondescript menu they do not stand out. IN Next Challenge Everyone remade almost completely. The essence remains: a driving school is a set of competitions that should give you practical skills for a real tournament. There were simply a glass of awards on top – there are four types of awards for tests, it depends on the assessment what we get at the end of training. To open complex competitions (Academy, not even a school), you need to pass exams on simple tracks. And coverage of different situations in Next Challenge better. We drive in the rain, and enter steep turns for a while, and try to defeat a dozen rivals, and even on a sipped machine, we overtake a healing opponent. In some exams, the player is put in a really strict framework. For example, the last test of the racer school is a wet road, a manual gearbox, rain, disconnected assistance systems and still significant handicap at the enemy. Like the predecessor, Superstars v8 Next Challenge – Arkada, but does not bent commendably until primitive.

When training is coming to an end, the first gifts will be given to the happy graduate. Remember, I said that there used to be serious problems with motivation? Now they partially decided – in Next Challenge to the navel of various achievements and buns for them. Moreover, all this is implemented very elegant. Each rider has his own room – a study. We win in tournaments – we grab the cups for it. We gently hang the license received at the school on the walls. We play a lot-we get a large LCD-television, a bailiff, cool acoustics, a plastic dinosaur and a lot more.

Not any kind of incentive, but this is a step in the right direction. Instead of stupid winding of circles, you can get something “material”. In ring races reflecting a real championship in which there is no place for even the simplest economic model, and simple achievements are already almost Manna.

And what in our garage?

Next Challenge noticeably “rose” compared to the predecessor. It is felt right away – a common style has appeared;It can be seen that the menu was drawn by a professional artist;Effects and animated icons are successfully combined with the total color scheme.

The cars were also prettier. True, they looked good before, but there was something so strange in them. As if the blur of some kind, as if cars are shy about their own appearance. IN Next Challenge They not only gained real names (there were more of them), but also flaunted by models detailed to the smallest details. It’s simply nice to look at them, although you understand that in the same Dirt steel horses will be more beautiful.

The tuning system has changed slightly. She remained the same, in fact, primitive, but at the same time “sighed”. Who does not want to understand

and poke around in the settings – please, a set of pre -installations is as clear and simple as possible. Moreover, the case is not limited to the banal choice of “speed or acceleration”, there are sets for rain, and for qualifications, and for routes with different configuration of turns and direct.

Actually, I already want approving on the highway itself Drive shake the hand to the developers. The guys got down to business with a full understanding that the game needed. And for complete happiness I needed a view from the cabin. Remember how they shouted NFS (in particular Underground) for the complete and total absence of this pleasant and immersion of the camera mode? Especially the difference was noticeable after the delicious Porsche Unleashed, which was almost like a simulator – so realistic and cool that I did not want to leave it. And all because of what? The illusion of reliability. Next Challenge does not claim the laurels of hardcore simulators and does not claim that everything is honest, but with a view of the steering wheel to this world of fairy-tale physics and amazingly tenacious tires it is easier to believe.

This is a completely magical sensation when you squeeze the pedal to the floor, gain three hundred kilometers per hour, and then with wild overloads you slow down ten meters to the cool turn. In a serious simulator, the car flies trifles from the highway and self -destroyed by concrete of the chipper. Here – miraculously throws up speed, without splashing the driver’s brain through the eyes to the windshield.

All the advantages of control from the previous part were neatly transferred to a new game. The cars are also pleasantly responsive to the turns of the steering wheel (both the keyboard and the present), the blows and collisions do not put the cross on the race, but they do not pass just like that – the car is falling apart, the “combat” qualities are lost. Evolution, however, was here – the car became a little “older”, or something. Now you can’t jump out onto the lawn, give gas and overtake a dozen people at once. Wild maneuvers of desperate NEED For Speed ​​2 and 3 in Next Challenge do not happen – arcativity has acquired a barely noticeable raid of realism, which does not allow the whole action into an idiotic farce.

I look at Superstars v8 Next Challenge – And the soul rejoices, by God. It can be seen that a mid -class project and without manners, but with what care everything is done. Modern graphics, without shameful blunders covered with shader blurry. Cars – all are completely real and made “perfectly”. Their racing qualities I have already sung in the last paragraph. Routes are a dozen, and they are all reliable and not “corn” (when one track in mirror reflection and back is made in advance, and then they give out at once for four different ones). All this does not slow down, does not fly out, and the sky was also fixed – now it does not catch his eyes with death. I look at Superstars v8 Next Challenge And I want to wish that our developers make continuations for their creations with the same zeal. The creators of the Pure Sky in this place are together.

Pros: cute graphics;dynamic control;arcade lightness, but not primitiveness;complete rushfulness;relatively low gland requirements.
Cons: Initially, the middle class;Limited fascination characteristic of ring racing.
